The Street Railway.

Mr.. Willard Bennett says the steam
motor, which will be ran ON the street car
line from the west end on Park street west,
to Meaderville, Was shipped on the 2Ist.
some days later than WAS expected. The
cars for hat inc have not yet been heard
OF, but it Is expected that all will be here IL
time to comnlence running by Christmas OF
New Years. Work on the Centervii!s ex-
tension is stoppd for the winter, rs cor
strnction is very expensive at this season
and it will be necessary to study the mos,
improved appliances for regulating s;etdo,
heavy grades. before deciding on the one to
be adopted for the Centerviile~e extension. Mr..
Bennett thinks it will require a clutter.
brake, that can be lifted off the rail when
the cars reach the lighter grades. He SAYS
IT was not the Montana Union, bnt the
County Commissioners, that forbade the
extension OF the line across the bridge at
Centerville. and though he doe. not re,oc-
n1ze their right to violate his fra nchise in
that way. it may be considered advisa bic
to have an independent bridget for the street

IT seems hardly credible that ministers
of the gospel should be led as'ray by the
pernicious doctrine OF Anarchy, but 1t ap
pears they are no better than other men
who have been victims OF the fallacy. The
Rev. Hugh j. Pentecost of Newark, N. j.,
ia amons the shepherds who have run after
false gods and his congregation nave
brought him up with a round turn. Tit
course of his degradation has heen gradual
but marked. He first got his mind un.
hinged by Henry Georges theories. to which
he fell a victim. and after spreading that
,,nsound doctrine from the pulpit to the
disgust Of his hearers. he descended to the
,lepths OF politics and accepted the nomi.
nation for Mayor On the Labor ticket.
Not content with the degeneration OF the
political arena, he went stiIl lower ard
preached a sermon in favor OF the Anar-
chists. showing that he is completely lost
10 grace. His congregation are determined
that, however much astray their pastor
has gone, they will not be led aside from
the beaten path and are searching for an
expounder Of the truth with more ortho-
,loxy in his composition with whom to re.
place him.

serve several good purposes. 1t would in
crease general interest in the militia; il
would educate them in camp life and dis

duce the emulation that bodies OF militia
